Thus spake "Gregory M. Turner" gmturner007@ameritech.net:
ah, the hidden powers of the preprocessor -- how it drives us to obsfucation with it's robotic stupidity... I wonder, is cpp a turing machine? Makes me want to implement vim as a sed script ;)
I don't think so. However, the C++ compile-time template mechanism *is* a turing machine (proof omitted). That is a persuasive argument, but I'm not sure if it's for or against C++.
